Question no. 33, Would the use of new media actively engage students in purposeful practice that promote deeper learning so that students focus on underlying principles, theories, models and processes and not the superficial features of problems?
The term New Media refers to all media,
rather than "new" media because these, take for example the Internet,
are not as new as everybody thinks. However, we define New
Media here
as any digital media objects that include interactivity and are digitally
distributed (Holzinger,
2002)
New
media refers
to on-demand access to content anytime, anywhere, on any digital device, as
well as interactive user feedback, and creative participation. Another aspect
of new media is the real-time generation of new, unregulated content.
Examples of new media

engages students in purposeful practice
that promote deeper learning in their life as learners focus on underlying
principles, theories, models and processes contrary to the superficial features
of learning and problems solving that hinders success in purposeful learning on
ongoing world of development in science and technology.
